Kat that sounds disappointing!! Messy and fun too!! You are making me want to try this...I love the largest one in the photos because of the uneven edges. But I'd do mine much smaller - like maybe even hanky sized and see what that would look like?? I have some old kerchiefs...did you feel that a heavier fabric worked better? (I haven't read the instructions yet - in case I'm asking some obvious questions!!) Good idea on putting down garden bags, now I probably do have a place to make this, and use those garden bags on the ground (and be very very careful! )
